Clinton Email Scandal: A Catalog Of Lame Excuses From The FBI Report
Investor's Business Daily ^ | 9/2/2016 | Staff

Posted on 09/02/2016 2:49:31 PM PDT by IBD editorial writer

Election 2016: The FBI report on its investigation into Hillary Clinton's use of emails, which it released publicly on Friday, might not contain any smoking guns, but it does reveal the lengths to which Clinton will go to deny responsibility or cover up an obvious lie, even if it makes her look like an ignorant fool.

Clinton's attempts to avoid responsibility became particularly strained when the topic turned to classified material she said never showed up on her email server. The report is replete with so many different attempts to duck blame that we thought it would be helpful to categorize them.

Honestly, Barney Fife is running the joint. It wasn’t like that even 10 years ago.

The FBI is corrupt since King Obama came into power. We can no longer trust any part of the Federal Government.

Trump for President. If not America has seen the last of a Constitutional law and order Government.

Hillary has more excuses than most people have a life.

The buck never stops with her. Its always someone else’s fault.

“My memory isn’t so good since I fell down”.That’s good for an ad to run repeatedly in every swing state.

The FBI should be shut down.

I think there may be a role for a criminal investigation unit at the federal level — but they need to start over. I would shutter the FBI, ban current employees from that kind of work at the federal level, and begin rebuilding. The FBI has been compromised for a long, long time.

Hillary's version, when asked about a classified email she received on Dec. 27, 2011, was to say that "no policy or practice existed relating to communicating around holidays."

Um, what? Hooray! It's the Christmas season! Now I can mishandle classified information!

Trump/Pence should have a field day with this...the woman who wants to be president lost 13 mobile devices with classified info on them and “doesn’t recall” very much...

Let me see if I got this right.

HRC never had a gov’t email account and used her own exclusively for both gov’t and personal business.

And if we are to believe there was never classified emails sent or received thru her ONLY email account.........

Then we also have to believe that in her entire tenure as SOS, she never dealt with classified docs, messages, etc, unless hand-delivered, fax or smoke signals.

Comey may be that gullible, but I’m not.

I forgot about the Al Gore “No controlling legal authority “ excuse. That was a classic. It still hurts my lower chakras when I hear it.

Too bad. There was a time when I trusted and admired the FBI. Not any more.
